Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is a National Phase of PCT Patent Application No. PCT/CN2021/114777 having International filing date of Aug. 26, 2021, which claims the benefit of priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202110926711.1 filed on Aug. 12, 2021. The contents of the above applications are all incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein in their entirety.
FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present application relates to a field of displays, especially to a backlight module brightness calibration method, a display device thereof, and a brightness calibration device thereof.
At present, with consumers' higher demands for image quality of television, many new display technologies appear, an active matrix mini-light emitting diode (AM-mini-LED) technology has received widespread attention.
Because a conventional liquid crystal display device (LCD) backlight module has limits such as defects including large power consumption and low contrast, backlight modules have been developed toward a direction of local dimming. An AM-mini-LED backlight module has characteristics such as local light dimming, low power consumption, and high contrast, can further applied to glass display panels for large size mass production, and gets attention extensively.
With reference to FIG. 1 , a backlight module of a conventional AM-mini-LED display device comprises a plurality of divisions arranged in an array, each of the divisions comprises a gate line, a data line, at least one mini-LED, a metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) connected to the mini-LED, a thin film transistors (TFT) connected to the gate line, the data line, and the MOSFET, and a storage capacitor (Cst) connected between the MOSFET and the TFT. When the divisions operate, the TFT is switched on by a gate line signal, and the data lines signal electrifies the storage capacitor to be able to keep the MOSFET continuously switched on such that the mini-LED continuously emits light. Controlling a power-on time of the MOSFET controls brightness of the mini-LED to present a specific grayscale value (for example, grayscale value 0 to 63) in a predetermined grayscale range to achieve a corresponding brightness, which achieves a function of divisional light adjustment.
Ideally, the storage capacitor can keep an original voltage after charged. However, in fact light leakage exits (light irradiates TFT to excite charges to move), the voltage would continuously decrease after within a period, which results in variation of conductive current of the MOSFET.
Furthermore, with reference to FIG. 2 , because different first grayscale values has different leakage degrees, it causes a discontinuous grayscale range of the backlight module, and finally results in that light emitted out from tje backlight module has discontinuous grayscale transition. For example, when brightness of mini-LEDs of one division of the backlight module gradually increases (grayscale value increases from 0 to 63), because of the light leakage issue, it results in discontinuous grayscale variation of the division from darkness to brightness. For example, in the divisions, brightness of the grayscale value 25 with a minor leakage is greater than brightness of the grayscale value 27 with a serious leakage degree.
Under a precondition of the divisions of the above backlight module having leakage issues, when the display panel outputs an image frame in which all of the divisions have the same brightness (i.e., the same grayscale value), the divisions under the grayscale value having different leakage degrees result in a issue that the image frame supposed to have consistent brightness instead presents uneven brightness, which causes poor display of the display device.
Under a precondition of the divisions of the above backlight module having leakage, when the display panel outputs an image with brightness gradually increasing from left to right, the divisions under the grayscale value having different leakage degrees result in the posterization issue that the image frame supposed to have an even low-to-high brightness transition from left to right instead presents a discontinuous brightness transition.
Because the leakage is material characteristics and difficult to overcome, other effective ways for easing or avoiding the technical issue such as posterization of a discontinuous and jump-varying grayscale transition of the backlight module is required.

 DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present application instead of all embodiments. According to the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative effort shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
An embodiment of the present application provides a backlight module brightness calibration method, a display device thereof, and a brightness calibration device thereof that are described as follows respectively. It should be explained that, a description order of the embodiments has no limit the preferring order of the embodiments.
With reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 , the present application provides the display device backlight module brightness calibration method comprising: a brightness detection step S100, a grayscale sorting step S200, a grayscale calibration table generation step S300, and a grayscale calibration table output step S500.
The brightness detection step S100 comprises detecting a plurality of actual brightness values of a plurality of first grayscale values of at least one of backlight divisions 10 of a backlight module of the display device. Particularly, the brightness detection step S100 can perform detection by an optical meter.
The grayscale sorting step S200 comprises re-sorting the first grayscale values according to a brightness value sequence of the actual brightness values.
The grayscale calibration table generation step S300 comprises establishing a grayscale calibration table corresponding to the backlight division 10 according to the first grayscale values resorted, wherein the grayscale calibration table comprises a plurality of second grayscale values, the second grayscale values are mapped to the first grayscale values re-sorted, and the actual brightness value corresponding to any smaller one of the second grayscale values is less than the actual brightness value corresponding to any greater one of the second grayscale values.
With reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 , a specific condition of an embodiment of the present application is taken as an example for explanation but is not limited thereto. In the brightness detection step S100, the grayscale range, for example, comprises 64 levels, and comprising first grayscale values L0 to L63, each of the first grayscale values L0-L63 corresponds to a brightness value of the backlight division. The originally set first grayscale value L0 corresponds to a minimum brightness value, the first grayscale values L63 correspond to a maximum brightness value. Remaining first grayscale values sequentially correspond to brightness values from low to high of the backlight division. However, the leakage issue of the light emission assembly in the divisions of the backlight module results in discontinuous darkness to brightness grayscale variation of the divisions. For example, in the divisions, a brightness value of the first grayscale value 25 with a minor leakage degree is greater than a brightness value of the first grayscale value 27 with a serious leakage degree and results in that the actual brightness value of the first grayscale value 25 is greater than the actual brightness value of the first grayscale value L26, and the actual brightness value of the first grayscale value L27 is less than the actual brightness value of the first grayscale value L26
Figure US12531033-20260120-P00001
Therefore, first in the brightness detection step S100, the actual brightness value of each of the first grayscale values L0-L63 is determined. Then, in the grayscale sorting step S200, the first grayscale values L27 and the first grayscale values L25 are exchanged according to the actual brightness values. Then, in the grayscale calibration table generation step S300, a grayscale calibration table from level 0
Figure US12531033-20260120-P00002
to level 63 is established according to the re-sorted the first grayscale values L0 to L63, which comprising a plurality of second grayscale values L0 “
Figure US12531033-20260120-P00003
to L63”. The second grayscale values are mapped to the first grayscale values re-sorted. For example, the second grayscale values L25″ and L27″ are mapped to first grayscale values L27 and L25 respectively, and actual brightness values corresponding to the second grayscale values L25″ and L27″ are the actual brightness values corresponding to L27 and L25 in the original grayscale range. As such, the issue of the discontinuous and jump-varying grayscale of the first grayscale values L25 to L27 of the grayscale range has been solved. Furthermore, the backlight division emitting light according to the grayscale calibration table, a relationship between of the second grayscale values of the backlight division and actual brightness values is as shown a grayscale-brightness relation chart in FIG. 7 , the actual brightness value increases according to the increasing first grayscale value, and therefore the issue of the discontinuous and jump-varying grayscale is solved.
The grayscale calibration table output step S500 comprises connecting a brightness control unit of the backlight module 1 through a transmission line to output and store the grayscale calibration table into the brightness control unit. Particularly, the brightness control unit controls the backlight module output a calibrated backlight brightness value corresponding to the image according to the grayscale calibration table.
In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the brightness detection step S100 further comprises: detecting the actual brightness values of the first grayscale values in a grayscale range corresponding to each of the backlight divisions of the backlight module 1 of the display;
the grayscale calibration table generation step S300 further comprises: establishing the grayscale calibration tables corresponding to the backlight divisions 10 according to the first grayscale values resorted in each of the backlight division 10 s, wherein each of the grayscale calibration tables comprises the second grayscale values, the second grayscale values are mapped to the first grayscale values re-sorted, and the actual brightness value corresponding to any smaller one of the second grayscale values is less than the actual brightness value corresponding to any greater one of the second grayscale values; and
the grayscale calibration table output step S500 further comprises: connecting a brightness control unit of the backlight module through a transmission line to output and store the grayscale calibration tables into the brightness control unit.
Specifically, driver transistor MOSFETs or light emission assemblies L in different ones of the backlight divisions 10 probably are different in performance to result in first grayscale values in the different ones of the backlight divisions 10 corresponding to different actual brightness values. Therefore, implementing backlight module brightness calibration to each backlight division 10 can acquire a better effect.
Specifically, a plurality of the grayscale calibration tables can also be integrated into a large grayscale calibration table according to actual demands, the present application has no limit thereto.
In a preferred embodiment of the present application, after the grayscale calibration table generation step S300, the method further comprises a division grayscale alignment step S400 comprising fine-adjusting a brightness value of a light emitting element of each of the backlight divisions such that the actual brightness values corresponding to the same second grayscale value in the grayscale calibration tables are equal.
Specifically, even backlight module brightness calibration has been implemented for different ones of the backlight divisions 10, brightness difference probably exists between different ones of the backlight divisions 10, and therefore the division grayscale alignment step S400 is needed.
Furthermore, in a qualified display device, employed light emitting elements L should be similar in light emission quality, and actual brightness values of the light emitting elements L under each first grayscale value should also be similar. Therefore, in the division grayscale alignment step S400, an alignment way of the grayscale calibration tables only requires to fine-adjust the lighting-up time length of the light emitting element L in each of the backlight divisions 10 under the first grayscale value such that the actual brightness values corresponding to the same second grayscale values in the grayscale calibration tables can be the same.

When the backlight divisions 10 operate, the TFT is switched on by a gate line signal, and the data lines signal electrifies the storage capacitor to be able to keep the MOSFET continuously switched on such that the light emitting element L continuously emits light. Controlling a power-on time of the driver transistor MOSFET controls brightness of the light emitting element L to present a specific first grayscale value (for example first grayscale value 0 to 63) in the grayscale range to achieve a corresponding brightness value, which achieves a divisional light adjustment function to the backlight division 10. Furthermore, when the light emitting element is a light emitting diode, a presentation way of the actual brightness value corresponding to each first grayscale value is distinguished by a lighting-up time length of the light emitting diode. For example, when the lighting-up time length of the light emitting element L is shorter, a presented actual brightness values is lower, and when the lighting-up time length is longer, the presented actual brightness values is higher.
